Hey there.

I want to build a small blog network for linking and I am ready to get dirty but want to know this:

Should I create a fake name for all the registrars in order to buy names and not have an ownership footprint?

How do you guys cover your tracks?

Looking forward to my email alreting me that someone has replied to this thread, I am ready for 'what to do' definitively, and get doing it now :)

Thanks,

WJ

p.s. Nobody flame me for asking this, if it's too NOOB for you then just get out of this section thanks.
 


I use different names when I register, some of domain also have private enabled. Even if today you dont need it who knows how clever search engines will be tomorrow.
 
I think that Google can peer right past privacy at will. So I don't really trust that for footprint protection.

So then the idea is to create several false accounts (as I need them) on Gdaddy, NameCheap whatever and when I grab an old domain I use a fake name to buy ..

then I can host it anywhere..

Does anyone have any solid proof that whois privacy is enough to erase blog network footprints?

Google payed to become a registrar a couple years ago. So blocking your whois information isn't going to really help you. What might help you is using foreign registrars using various monikers. Although I've never had a problem using fake names at major registrars (Godaddy, Namecheap) I wouldn't suggest it. There are a few horror stories that can be found with a little Google searching.

If you use a proxy service google cannot see past that. You pay whoisguard to be the proxy registrant. Your details are not on the domain, theirs are. Google would need access to registrars accounts to get past that.

If you are talking about making your OWN details private on tld's that allow that option, then that is different.
 
So we are looking at whoisguard (a prefoessional service) to hide ownership, or 100% fake names OR using family and friends real identities with a contract that YOU are the real owner (I like the last idea).
